Better business intelligence and insight can make the difference between a business surviving and thriving. Microsoft aims to make business intelligence (BI) more accessible to everyone across an organization, in part by providing BI capabilities in familiar tools such as Excel to empower more users to build and consume rich BI solutions as part of their everyday work.

If you're interested in how Excel's BI capabilities could fit within your organization's broader BI solution, check out the Microsoft BI Solution Builder, an online configuration tool that helps you see how the capabilities in the products you currently own could contribute to a complete BI solution.
